A wiping device for wiping cover plates of the headlights of motor vehicles includes a wiping arm carrying a wiper blade and swingable over the cover plate being wiped, and a drive shaft which is releasably connected to the wiping arm by means of an adapter. The wiping arm is comprised of two halves hinged to each other by a hinge the axis of which extends in a plane parallel to the cover plate being wiped. A spring is arranged between two hingeable halves of the wiping arm. The wiping device can be completely moved out from the path of light beams emitted by the headlight.

A motion-transmitting arrangement, particularly for windshield wipers, has a drive with a rotary output shaft on which a crank member is mounted for rotation. A crank rod has one end connected to a crank pin which is transversely spaced from the shaft, and its other end is pivoted at one location to a member which latter is also pivoted at another location and which is coupled with an element (e.g., a wiper blade) to be moved. An arrangement is provided for varying the distance between the shaft and the crank pin and/or between the crank pin and the pivot at the one location and/or the pivot at the one location and the pivot at the other location.
